from the louisville j urnal iu the course of au interview that we had with jotl davis in january 1sg5 the subject of the terms of peace was in troduced mr davis asked us what was the chief objection of the north to tbe recognition of son thorn independence we answered that the north knew per fectly well as unquestionably bo did that if sho would lay down ber arms and consent to 11 division of the union in to two confederacies she herself would very soon bo dissolved that state after state states singly aud sta'es combined iy would secede ami tbe whole north bo split up into petty powers or no pow en all of them contemptible in the eyes uf mankind and not one of them willing or able to contribute to tbe payment of the national debt mr davis replied with his characteristic calmness that this was c'l rtainly true but that the same thing would happen and pi of/ably happen all the sooner if the north continued to pros ecute the war we thought at the time that mr davis was greatly mistaken and told him so we still trust that wo wero correct in our estimate of tbe character of his opin ion hnt just now we can indulge no over confidence tluit we were tlie north | continued to prosecute
